This year, the Cancer Center is organizing an inter-programmatic retreat instead of organizing individual program retreats to help promote collaboration between programs. This retreat will showcase the innovative research in all three Cancer Center programs and highlight how focused areas and themes transcend individual programmatic science. You will also hear an update on the Cancer Center’s plans to apply for National Cancer Institute designation and an overview of the 2022-27 strategic plan.
